MONTREAL (AP) — Xander Schauffele ran off four straight birdies to lead an onslaught of red scores on the board Sunday and the Americans made the outcome as inevitable as it usually is, winning the Presidents Cup for the 10th straight time. Sam Burns completed an unbeaten week, Russell Henley capped off his impressive debut in the Presidents Cup with a win and Keegan Bradley — the Ryder Cup captain next year — delivered the deciding point when Si Woo Kim missed a 10-foot putt putt on the 18th hole. Max Homa finished the scoring with his first point of the week, a 2-and-1 victory over Mackenzie Hughes that made it 18 1/2-11 1/2, the largest margin of victory for the Americans away from home, even if was just north of the border at Royal Montreal.
The Internationals needed everything to go right at Royal Montreal. All they could manage was a good fight, more tight matches, but still no cup. Their only victory since these matches for players from everywhere but Europe came in 1998 at Royal Melbourne, so long ago that Tiger Woods was making his Presidents Cup debut.
The U.S. winning streak dates to 2005.
The Americans made a winner out of captain Jim Furyk, who was at the helm in France five years ago when they lost to Europe in the Ryder Cup. Furyk sent out Schauffele in the opening match against Jason Day, and the Californian made five birdies in eight holes to seize control early. It ended on the 15th hole.
